Philadelphia Franchise Opportunity

Philadelphia Franchise Opportunity - The Tomato Shack salad & pizza co is excited to offer the opportunity for to become a Philadelphia Franchise. We have a 20 year track record of success and will teach you our turnkey system for success as a Tomato Shack Franchisee. 

We are a local Philly brand with a 20+ year track record illustrating an emphasis on retaining pure quality while promoting this upward trend of healthy lifestyle eating!  We let our ingredients do the talking and never cut corners.  

Our decisions are based on the passion of a small group of managing partners that listen to their team.  Decisions are not driven by what's best for Wall Street, which can often push a growing brand to the ground!  

Seeking out local and organic ingredients whenever possible is an important part of the company mission.  All of our salad dressings, pizza sauces and sandwich spreads are gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, and vegan. Healthy is our goal without compromising flavor! Our standard pizza crust (made with gluten) is made entirely of organic ingredients and has won "Best Pizza" in Philadelphia Magazine (among many other accolades).  

We also make a gluten-free dough that helped us win recognition in USA Today's "10 Best Gluten-Free Pizzas"!   We also offer a unique vegan cheese substitute as well, making sure to have something for all of our guests with dietary restrictions!

We take pride in offering many locally sourced and healthier options from our scratch kitchen.
